The vast majority of American adults, and most school-aged children as well, wake up with the aid of an alarm clock every single day. The standard clocks can be extremely effective, with their high pitched screech. However, these clocks are not very comforting.

One thing many people turn to is the clock radio. This will allow you to set your alarm to a more soothing radio station, rather than the standard alarm clock squeal. Of course, that depends on your choice of radio station, but anything will likely lead to a much less harsh wake up.

Shopping for a clock radio may seem easy, but there are some choices you have to make before you buy. Much like many other forms of technology, the clock radio has really come a long way. From a standard radio with a clock on it, to radios that play CDs and now MP3 players, there are a lot of options out there for you to choose from.

If you’re a digital music connoisseur, you may want to consider picking up a clock radio with an MP3 player function. You can find several that will allow you to plug your MP3 player right into the front and it will charge your device while allowing you to wake up to your favorite songs.

You can also find devices that have a similar feature, but work with CDs or cassette tapes. These aren’t going to allow you access to your entire music collection, but they will be much less expensive than the MP3 player clock radios.

Also, sitting there amongst the bright, shining new radios are the traditional clock radios that feature, you guessed it, a clock and a radio. Most of these also have a feature that will allow you to turn on the old- school alarm clock chirp, but it’s likely that you won’t need to do that.

Depending on what you select, prices will cover a very wide range. You can pick up a standard clock radio for as little as $15, while some of the high- tech, MP3 player clock radios can run $100 or more.

There are several options out there for clock radios, probably more than you would think, so make sure you know what you’re looking for. No matter what, you can guarantee yourself a more peaceful wakeup than the weeks before.

Clock Alarm?

Choose a clock alarm that will wake you up, especially if you are a heavy sleeper. You might need one with radio. However, if you wake up just fine with a gentle buzz, then you will not need the radio feature, and the purchase will be cheaper. Don't forget to look for LED or glow in the dark features if you need to see the time in the dark.
